Clothing sustainability is a huge topic with lots of information. You might want to narrow down the topic of your quiz so that you can go into more detail about one idea.

To choose your topic, think about what you want people to learn from your questions. Do you want them to learn about the materials that clothing is made of? Do you want them to learn about how to read a clothing label? Do you want them to learn what happens to clothing after it is thrown away?

Choose a topic that is interesting to you!  

What will your quiz be about?
